The first ships sailed from N&#250;menor to Middle-earth in the year 600 of the Second Age.</p><p>The N&#250;men&#243;reans were forbidden by the Valar from sailing so far westward that N&#250;menor was no longer visible, for fear that they would come upon the&nbsp;<a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undying_Lands" title="Undying Lands">Undying Lands</a>, to which Men could not come.

Over time the N&#250;men&#243;reans became jealous of the Elves for their immortality, and began to resent the Ban of the Valar and to rebel against their authority, seeking the everlasting life that they believed was begrudged them. They tried to compensate for this by going eastward and colonizing large parts of Middle-earth, first in a friendly manner, but later as cruel tyrants. Soon the N&#250;men&#243;reans came to rule a great coastal empire that had no rival. Few (the "Faithful") remained loyal to the Valar and friendly to the Elves.</p><p>In the year 3255 of the Second Age, the 25th king,&nbsp;<a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ar-Pharaz%C3%B4n" title="Ar-Pharaz&#244;n">Ar-Pharaz&#244;n</a>, sailed to Middle-earth and landed at&nbsp;<a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbar" title="Umbar">Umbar</a>.

With Sauron as his advisor, Ar-Pharaz&#244;n had a 500-foot (150&nbsp;m) tall temple to Melkor erected, in which he offered human sacrifices to Melkor (those selected to be sacrificed were&nbsp;<a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elendili" title="Elendili">Elendili</a>, N&#250;men&#243;reans who were still faithful to the Elves).</p><p>During this time, the White Tree&nbsp;<a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimloth" title="Nimloth">Nimloth</a>, which stood before the King's House in Armenelos and whose fate was said to be tied to the line of kings, was chopped down and burned as a sacrifice to Melkor at Sauron's direction.&nbsp;<a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isildur" title="Isildur">Isildur</a>, heroically and at great personal risk, rescued a fruit of the tree which became an ancestor of the&nbsp;<a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Tree_of_Gondor" title="White Tree of Gondor">White Tree of Gondor</a>, preserving the ancient line of trees.</p><p>Prompted by Sauron and fearing old age and death, Ar-Pharaz&#244;n built a great armada and set sail into the West to make war upon the Valar and seize the Undying Lands, and by so doing achieve immortality. Sauron remained behind. This force was quoted by Tolkien as the 'greatest force ever assembled on Arda'. In the year 3319 of the Second Age, Ar-Pharaz&#244;n landed on the shores of Aman.

Under his rule, and those of his descendants, the N&#250;men&#243;reans rose to become a powerful people. The first ships sailed from N&#250;menor to Middle-earth in the year 600 of the Second Age.</p><p>The N&#250;men&#243;reans were forbidden by the Valar from sailing so far westward that N&#250;menor was no longer visible, for fear that they would come upon the&nbsp;<a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undying_Lands" title="Undying Lands">Undying Lands</a>, to which Men could not come.

Over time the N&#250;men&#243;reans became jealous of the Elves for their immortality, and began to resent the Ban of the Valar and to rebel against their authority, seeking the everlasting life that they believed was begrudged them. They tried to compensate for this by going eastward and colonizing large parts of Middle-earth, first in a friendly manner, but later as cruel tyrants. Soon the N&#250;men&#243;reans came to rule a great coastal empire that had no rival. Few (the "Faithful") remained loyal to the Valar and friendly to the Elves.</p><p>In the year 3255 of the Second Age, the 25th king,&nbsp;<a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ar-Pharaz%C3%B4n" title="Ar-Pharaz&#244;n">Ar-Pharaz&#244;n</a>, sailed to Middle-earth and landed at&nbsp;<a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbar" title="Umbar">Umbar</a>.

You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Ud&ucirc;n. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass."<br />&mdash;Gandalf to the Balrog.<br />On January 15, 3019, the Fellowship came to the Bridge of Khazad-d&ucirc;m pursued by Orcs and a Balrog of Morgoth. Gandalf stopped on the Bridge, standing in the middle of the span, allowing the others to escape. He leaned on the staff in his left hand and held the sword Glamdring, gleaming cold and white, in his right. The Balrog stepped onto the Bridge, facing Gandalf, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings. It raised its whip, and the thongs whined and cracked. Fire came from its nostrils. But Gandalf stood firm and declared that the Balrog could not pass. They fought, and the Balrog's sword was destroyed. Then the Balrog leaped full upon the Bridge, and Gandalf lifted his staff and smote it upon the bridge. His staff shattered, but the Bridge cracked at the Balrog's feet. The stone beneath the Balrog broke and fell, taking the Balrog with it into the abyss, but the thongs of its whip snared Gandalf about his knees, and Wizard and Balrog plummeted together into the depths of the mountain. Gandalf cried, "Fly, you fools!" and was gone"I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Ud&ucirc;n.

After the defeat of his companions he fled from peril into the elvish realm Doriath. There he met L&#250;thien, the only daughter of King Thingol and Melian the Maia, as she was dancing and singing in a glade. Seeing the beautiful Elf, Beren fell in love with her, for she was the fairest of all Elves and Men. She later fell in love with him as well, when he, moved by her beauty and enchanting voice, gave her the nickname "Nightingale." As Thingol disliked Beren and regarded him as being unworthy of his daughter, he set a seemingly impossible task on Beren that he had to achieve before he could marry L&#250;thien. Thingol asked Beren to bring him one of the Silmarils, the three hallowed jewels made by F&#235;anor, which Morgoth had stolen from the Elves.<br />Beren left Doriath and set out on his quest to Angband, the enemy&#8217;s fortress. Although Thingol tried to prevent it, L&#250;thien later followed him. On his journey to the enemy&#8217;s land Beren reached Nargothrond, an Elvish stronghold, and was joined by ten warriors under the lead of King Finrod, who had sworn an oath of friendship to Beren's father. Although F&#235;anor&#8217;s sons, Celegorm and Curufin, warned them not to take the Silmaril that they considered their own, the company was determined to accompany Beren. On their way to Angband they were seized by the servants of Sauron, despite the best efforts of Finrod to maintain their guise as Orcs, and imprisoned in Tol-in-Gaurhoth. One by one they were killed by a werewolf until only Beren and Finrod remained. When the wolf went for Beren, Finrod broke his chains and wrestled with it such fierceness that they both died.<br />When she was following Beren, L&#250;thien was captured and brought to Nargothrond by Celegorm and Curufin. Aided by Huan, Celegorm&#8217;s hound (which according to prophecy could only be defeated by the greatest werewolf ever), she was able to flee. With his aid she came to Sauron&#8217;s fortress where Huan defeated the werewolves of the Enemy, Draugluin, and Sauron himself in wolf-form. Then they freed the prisoners, among them Beren.<br />Beren wanted to try his task once more alone, but L&#250;thien insisted on coming with him. Through magic they took the shapes of the bat Thuringwethil and the wolf Draugluin that Huan had killed. Thereby they were able to enter the enemy&#8217;s land and at last came to Angband and before Morgoth&#8217;s throne. There L&#250;thien sang a magical song which made the Dark Lord fall asleep; then Beren cut a Silmaril from Morgoth&#8217;s crown. As he tried to cut out the others, his knife broke and a shard glanced off Morgoth's face, awakening him. As they attempted to leave, the gate was barred by Carcharoth, a giant werewolf, who was bred as an opponent to Huan. He bit off and swallowed Beren&#8217;s hand, in which Beren was holding the Silmaril.[2] Carcharoth was burned by the pure light of the Silmaril and ran off madly.<br />Beren and L&#250;thien returned to Doriath, where they told of their deeds and thereby softened Thingol&#8217;s heart. He accepted the marriage of his daughter and the mortal Man, although Beren&#8217;s task had not been fulfilled. Beren and Huan participated in the hunt for Carcharoth, who in his madness had come into Doriath and caused much destruction there. Both of them were killed by the wolf, but Carcharoth was also slain. Before he died, Beren handed the Silmaril, which was recovered from Carcharoth's belly, to Thingol.<br />Grieving for Beren, L&#250;thien also died, and came to the halls of Mandos. There she sang of her ill fate, that she would never again see Beren, who as a mortal Man had passed out of the world. Thereby Mandos was moved to pity. He restored Beren and L&#250;thien to life and granted mortality to the Elf. L&#250;thien left her home and her parents and went to Ossiriand with Beren. There they dwelt for the rest of their lives, and both eventually died the death of mortal Men.<br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder" data-embed-type="deviation" data-embed-id="486790646" data-embed-format="thumb"><span class="shadow mild" ><a class="thumb" href="http://breathing2004.deviantart.com/art/Nauglamir-486790646" title="Nauglamir by breathing2004, Oct 6, 2014 in Digital Art &gt; Drawings &amp; Paintings &gt; Illustrations &gt; Storybook" data-super-img="http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/279/f/0/nauglamir_by_breathing2004-d81tm2e.jpg" data-super-width="600" data-super-height="840" data-super-transparent="false"><i></i><img width="107" height="150" alt="Nauglamir by breathing2004" src="http://th06.deviantart.net/fs71/150/i/2014/279/f/0/nauglamir_by_breathing2004-d81tm2e.jpg" data-src="http://th06.deviantart.net/fs71/150/i/2014/279/f/0/nauglamir_by_breathing2004-d81tm2e.jpg"></a></span><!-- ^TTT --><!-- TTT$ --></span>Beren was the last survivor of a group of Men led by his father Barahir that had still resisted Morgoth, the Dark Enemy, after the Battle of Sudden Flame, in which Morgoth had conquered much of northern Middle-earth.
